Watson transferred from Faulkner State Junior College in summer 1999, and played in 10 of the Bulldogs' 12 events during his junior season, winning the Schenkel E-Z-Go Invitational in March 2000. His senior year, however, he competed only once, finishing T-20 while trying to defend his title at the Schenkel. For his Georgia career, he had a 72.93 scoring average. The best thing to come out of his time in Athens: meeting future wife Angie, who played basketball for the Bulldogs.
